The Capricorn Rising Stars, Apprentice of the Year program is an opportunity for automotive workshops and repair centres to acknowledge apprentices for their ongoing effort and hard work. By recognising and rewarding apprentices for the value they bring to the workshop, you will keep them engaged and excited about to their promising careers ahead of them.

The award prioritises acknowledging apprentices with a passion for auto, a positive can-do attitude and a strong commitment to forging a long career as a repairer. The unique judging criteria means you can recognise your star apprentices as they continue to develop their technical proficiency.

Focusing on initiative, eagerness to learn and commitment to the auto repair industry, the competition is open to apprentices at any level across all types of workshops and disciplines; from panel and fabrication to auto electrical, general mechanical, heavy diesel and more.

All Members are encouraged to consider nominating their apprentices as a Capricorn Rising Star. As well as being a good opportunity to embed a positive team culture, recognising apprentices is also important to help the industry to attract the best talent and retain more of our future leaders.

Every apprentice that is nominated will benefit by receiving a certificate sent to their workshop. In addition, more than $20,000 in cash and prizes is up for grabs to be shared amongst the Overall Winner, Top 5 Finalists and the workshops that nominated them.

More than $20,000 in cash and prizes to be won!

The workshop that nominates the Overall Winner will receive The Workshop Whisperer, Service Advisor Pro online training (valued at $3,000 plus GST).

Capricorn thanks long-term program sponsors Castrol, Repco and the Workshop Whisperer, who have donated these fantastic prizes.
